Minnesota shipwreck hunters locate long-sought Lake Michigan wreck

The wreck of the Pere Marquette 18 in Lake Michigan
A doorway to a cabin underneath the pilothouse is seen on the wreck of the Pere Marquette 18, located in about 500 feet of water in Lake Michigan offshore from Sheboygan, Wis. Two Minnesota shipwreck hunters discovered the wreck in July. The pilothouse structure broke loose during the sinking and now rests on the starboard rail near the stern of the ship.
